UK Govt Adviser Qari Asim Follows Holocaust Denier on Twitter & Promoted Event Featuring Him
share
A few days ago, I wrote about the terror-supporting Imam Irfan Chishti MBE, who endorsed an antisemitic tweet authored by Ahmad Thomson (of whom more later), and who is paid by the UK government to combat Islamist extremism.
Another such imam is Qari Asim MBE who serves as an advisor on Islamophobia to the UK government. Qari Asim is a senior Imam in Leeds and chair of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board. Critics suspect him of being a closet Islamist, however the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BOD) and The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, have defended Qari Asim for his commitment to battling extremism and promoting interfaith harmony. An example of how this is put into practice now follows.
This madness urgently needs to be fought by those who help make the cultural weather. It’s not enough for politicians to promise support to a Jewish community that’s under siege.
